Google as a Verb

Dictionaries all over the place are now listing it as such. Here, in case you missed it: http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/7498.html However, it can also be used as other parts of speech, which I expect will be in the next release of Merryam-Webster. As an example of verbs and other parts of speach, I submit the following for your scholarly consideration: 1. Google as a transitive verb: He googled the information. 2. Google as an intransitive verb: The information was googled by him. 3. Google as a copulative verb: Well, I'll be googled! 4. Google as an adverb: Googlely searching through the data, he found the answer. 5. Google as an adjective: Joe's database was the googlest of all. 6. Google as a song (Spike Jones): "Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes. Barney Google had a wife three times his size...(etc., etc.)" I'd give more examples, but my brane's all tuckered out. --Bill -- The World Wide Web is the hugest vanity press in the history of the human race! http://billwilkinson.home.mindspring.com/index.html blowing is a verb |
